In the wake of the shootings at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, FL on June 12, 2016, National Geographic sent photographer Wayne Lawrence to photograph for a story they ran on June 24. (full story here: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/2016/06/orlando-shooting-lgbt-portraits/)
I was immediately struck by the portraits Lawrence made. In a world where we are completely inundated with photography, he has a strong, unique voice which beautifully captured the dignity and humanity of the friends and survivors in Orlando.
